The University of Bonn Transdisciplinary Research Areas (TRAs) “Modelling” and “Life and Health” aim to support highly innovative, transdisciplinary research projects addressing new and relevant questions at the interface between Mathematics or Computer Sciences and the research topics of “Life and Health” or aimed at the development of new tools, which push the borders of existing research questions in this area.

Expected are joint applications from two project leaders, one from TRA Modelling and one from TRA Life and Health. University members of the TRAs Modelling and Life and Health are eligible to apply. Deadline for application is March 31, 2023.

Ongoing:

• TRA 1 Brownbag/PreDinner Series

Everyone who feels part of CESOC or the TRA Modelling or would like to get to know more about each or both is cordially invited to join for the talk and the get-together. Please share with interested people.

The Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology  turns 50 this year! An ideal occasion to celebrate microbiological research with a scientific symposium themed "Microfluencers: from small organisms to global impact".

Interdisciplinary speakers from biology and physics will shed light on various important aspects of how microbial influencers shape our world. How can we address global problems such as climate change and antibiotic resistance or worldwide challenges such as global health and nutrition? The talks are tailored to an interdisciplinary audience and start at a lay scientific level and end with the latest results for experts.
